Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-23

Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Paul admonishes (instructs) us to put on the whole armor of God in order to stand against the devil (and the forces of hell), against invisible physical powers who have various levels of authority in their spheres of activity.

Putting on the whole armor of God is what keeps us strong, allowing us to hold our battle stance against all the unseen evil structure.

Our combat is against spiritual forces, not men.

God has given us great protection and resources to meet our enemy.

It’s a necessity for all believers to gird our waist with truth; we need to know God’s word inside and out.

We also need to put on the breastplate of righteousness; this righteousness has been imparted to us through salvation.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

The shield of faith is also part of our armor.

This shield will protect us from the fiery darts that come to personally assault us; they will be quenched as we stand strong in our faith.

We also need the helmet of salvation; salvation brings forgiveness and redemption from our sins through Christ.

It’s important to note that the belt, the shield, the breastplate and the helmet are all defensive pieces of our armor. They protect us from the onslaught of the enemy’s attacks.

The final piece of our armor is the sword of the Spirit, which is the only offensive piece.

Our sword is the word of God.

His word gives us the ability to attack the enemy in a way that will render his temptations and his attacks on us powerless.

Let us remember that His armor only protects us if we wear it.

It is His divine protection!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-20

Ephesians 6:10-11 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

What is armor? Armor is used to protect the body during battle.

God says to put on the WHOLE armor, meaning we shouldn’t leave out one little part or piece of it. Because if we do, we can get badly hurt or even killed.

If we went into battle and we forgot our helmet, our head would get damaged. If we forgot our breast plate, our chest would get damaged or we would be killed. etc.

We need to have it all on to be fully protected while in battle.

If we forget to put on a piece of God’s armor, chances are we will get attacked in that area, for the enemy will spot that it is not protected. That lack of armor is his way in. He will aim for it and hope to bring destruction, and ultimately take us out.

Ephesians 6:14-16 (NKJV) 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

When we get up each day, we need to know the truth and stand firm in it. We need to practice what’s right, in spite of what our flesh wants to do.

We need to be alert and ready at any time to share His love, while keeping our eyes and ears open to Him. Walking in the steps He has for us is essential to fighting off the fiery darts that come our way.

We will win if we are tight with God, the Armor is on and active in our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-14

Ephesians 6: 11 (NKJV) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

It is not by our strength that we can stand against the wiles of the devil. We don’t have what it takes, and if we think we do then we will lose.

It will take having the whole whole armor of God to obtain victory to when we are battling.

A spiritual battle is draining, both emotionally and physically. From the time we wake up until the time we lay our head on our pillow, it is nonstop. It is exhausting to the human body, mind and soul!

It’s not easy and God knows this. That is why He tells us to put on the WHOLE armor, for it brings a great deal of protection!

What is God’s armor? Ephesians 6:14-18 (NKJV) 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

You may be going through a battle today and maybe you didn’t even know that’s what it was, but you’re realizing now it is an attack directly against you, your family, your job, your finances, your relationship with God, your relationship with your spouse, etc.

It’s not the time to get scared and run. Now is the time to get serious, focused and to put on the armor. It’s time to trust God’s answer for you and let Him help you through it. Have faith, pray and stay close to Him.

We are praying for you and believing you will come out victoriously! Giving God all the glory. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-31-12

(Eph 6:11 NKJV)  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

God has provided us with armor. This means that He expects us to face some tough battles.

It would be awesome if we could walk through life and not have to go through trials and battles, but that’s just not realistic. Because we MUST go through battles, God has given us everything we need to be able to stand against the things that the devil hurls at us.

We need to remember, though, that our armor won’t protect us if we don’t put it on!!

Well-used armor will have a tendency to be full of dents, scratches and other battle scars. This means it did its job in protecting the wearer.

Where is your armor today? Do you have it on, or did you forget? Is it stuffed in your closet behind a bunch of other unwanted stuff, or is it maybe even in your basement amongst other dusty items that are long-forgotten?

We need to pick it up, put it on and let God teach us how to use it!
